Regional resilience, Regional economic subsystem, Shocks, ReactionsResumo
Purpose (mandatory)
This study aims to empirically investigate how an industrial region has reacted to different shocks - competitive, market, and environmental - through its economic subsystems - its firms, workers, and institutions - in a longitudinal perspective for the period 1985-2021.
Design/methodology/approach (mandatory)
We used a mixed method approach applied to a case study of the Brazilian T&C industrial region. We used two data sources and two stages for data collection. The first stage involved documentary research and the second in-depth interviews. The analysis of qualitative data took place in two stages. In the first, we applied contente analysis, and in the second stage, we used the exploratory statistical technique of simple correspondence analysis and the categorical data.
Findings (mandatory)
The results provide evidence that different types of shock provoke different reactions. However, the shock-reaction relationship is invariable over time. We observed proportionality in the size of the shock and the regional actors involved in the regional response - firms, workers, and institutions.
Originality/value (mandatory)
We went a step further, presenting empirical research on the shock-reaction relationship using the ‘type of shock’ as a variable. This paper provides a holistic understanding of the factors behind regional resilience through insights into the role that resources, structures, institutions, and actors play in the regional response to distinct types of shocks, reaching four main conclusions.
